The Ballards of Randolph County, Alabama
The Ballards of Randolph County, Alabama
Ballard Migration to Randolph:
Allan Joshua Ballard
VA/Wilkes/Morgan/Gwinnett/Campbell/Heard/Randolph/Coweta counties
Benjamin Ballard left Princess Anne County, Virginia in 1785 and settled on Camp Creek in Wilkes County, GA. Possibly he was attracted to the area because his parents, John Ballard and Mary Continent, had migrated and died there about 1769. His grandparents died in the Princess Anne area of Virginia near the North Carolina state line. In Wilkes County, Benjamin married Katherine Hammond, thought to be a native of Wilkes County. At some point they moved to Morgan County Georgia, just to the North and West. He died in Morgan County on June 16, 1832.
Benjamin’s son Joshua married Elizabeth Bryant. They left the Wilkes/Morgan County area and settled or settled in Annistown on the Yellow River in Gwinnett County, just to the North. Joshua built or acquired a mill of some type that eventually burned, along with the family Bible. Joshua was active in local politics as indicated by early Gwinett records detailing his commission to build a road from the Gwinett county seat to an adjoining county. Joshua and Elizabeth are also listed as among the first forty families in Gwinnett (The History of Gwinnett). Although Joshua is not known to be a veteran, about one half of his pioneering neighbors in Gwinnett were veterans of the colonial war for independence.
Joshua and Elizabeth produced eight children - ( Elizabeth <b1783?>, Armstead <b1794>, Obadiah <abt 1828 and moved to Arkansas>, Morton <b unknown and moved to Arkansas>, Abraham <b1830?>, Levi <b1833 and lived in Palmetto after a spell in Arkansas>, and Polly Canady, Amanda, and Lucretia <all born unknown> - some possibly born in Morgan, some born in Gwinnett.
By 1833 Joshua and his family left Gwinett for the north Coweta/south Fulton county Georgia area separated from Carroll county by the Chattahoochee River. This area became Campbell County, and then Fulton County. This move was to the South and West, and continued the family trend of locating on the western frontier near a river or creek.
Joshua and Elizabeth settled amongst his maternal brothers-in-law Elijah, John, and George W. Bryant. This area had previously been settled by the Revolutionary War veteran William Bryant. There they died and are buried on what was apparently a large Bryant land holding on the Chattahoochee river. It contained a fish camp that is much remembered to this day by Ballard relatives and Bryants who visited as children.
The nearest towns were Whitesburg, across the river in Carroll county, and Palmetto Georgia, in the opposite direction in Coweta County, now Fulton County. Eventually the general area became known as the Rico Community. The Rico Providence Baptist Church was established in the 1850’s. Their son Armisted is buried in Rico about a mile down the unpaved road behind the Rico Providence Baptist Church. Many Bryants also are buried at the Rico Providence Baptist Church.
In this area the Chattahooche is wide, and shoaled. The land on either bank is low bordering up to hilly country. A railroad crosses the river just downstream from the main bridge taking the present day highway from Coweta over the river to Carroll County.
Their son Levi eventually became prominent in Palmetto, building a mansion, and succeeding in banking and politics.
About their son Abraham, little is known beyond his CSA service record and that he married Delana Jane Maderis. Presumably Abraham migrated further west to the Randolph county Alabama, area. Randolph is separated from Palmetto as well as from the Rico Community by one county, Heard County, Georgia.
The Creek Nation, defeated by Andrew Jackson at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend (barely north of Randolph County), ceeded their land to the federal government in 1833, but continued hostilities as late as 1836, when they burned to the ground the present day town of Roanoake, Randolph County, then known as High Pines. High Pines was the site of a Creek town prior to the arrival of white settlers. The Creek Nation was not entirely removed across the Mississippi River until about 1840.
Randolph was among the last Alabama counties to be settled…
Somehow surviving among these developments, Abraham and his wife Delana Jane Madaris had five children, including Joshua, Sara Elizabeth, Malinda, Lucinda and Fannie A.
Joshua was born in 1851 and lived until 1917. As a child, he would have seen remaining Creek Indians walking around, and the start of the Civil War at age nine. According to CSA records, his father was killed while fighting in Chattanooga in 1862, leaving him fatherless at the age of eleven.
Joshua spent most or all of his life in Randolph County. His Alabama death certificate states that he was born in Randolph, and died there. He acquired 1,600 acres of land, and operated a cotton gin-house and a gristmill. His forebears had operated mills in their migration across Georgia. His home stood in Omaha, near Big Springs. Apparently he operated his area’s Post Office. He was elected a judge of some type, probably a Justice of the Peace, and could issue bench warrants.
Joshua and his wife Ellen Elizabeth Burson are buried in the Big Springs Baptist Church, along with several of their children. Most of their family stayed in Randolph until recent times. George, the oldest, was mentally challenged due to the ravages of a childhood fever. Other children included Will, James, Nathaniel Joshua, Levi, Lucinda, Sara, Linne, and Alma, who died almost at birth.
Will was elected Randolph County Sheriff in 1920. James operated a store in the southeast section of the county, near Wehadke. Nathaniel Joshua worked for RD Cole, in nearby Newnan, Coweta County GA. Levi moved to Charlotte, NC and went into business.
Continuing the Ballard tradition of local political involvement, Martha and Lois, daughters of James, both married men who became long time county commissioners, one in Randolph, and one in adjoining Cleburne County.
Close family relations were maintained between the Randolph Ballards, the Palmetto Ballards, and the Rico Bryants. The Bryants entertained at their fish camp on the Chattahooche. The Ballards would receive Bryants and other Ballards for extended visits.
The Ballards were among the early settlers in Randolph County, and their legacy remains to the current day. The Ballard family were pioneers across Wilkes, Morgan, Gwinnett, Coweta and Randolph counties.
